Question about CIMs / OMs

by a searcher from Ivey Business School at Western University

Feb 13,2023

Curious to know how long it typically takes a broker to make a CIM or OM for a sub-$2M EBITDA business? If there are any willing brokers I'd love to speak with you for 15 minutes to learn more about best practices.

Thanks :)

You don't want a rush job. I see flimsy and poorly made ones filled with errors all the time.

We actually built our own CIM/deal management software and brought our CIM creation time down to 1 week if the seller completes the intake questionnaire with a decent amount of detail and is motivated to upload all the due diligence documents we get them to pre-upload.

Here's an example CIM: https://app.dealbuilder.co/demo/543
